Writing to fmt::Formatter

Is it possible to serialize a value directly to fmt::Formatter?
Usecase:
impl<T: Debug + serde::Serialize> Debug for Formattable<T> {
fn fmt(&self, mut f: &mut std::fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> std::fmt::Result {
match self.format_type {
FormatType::Json => serde_json::to_writer(f, &self.data).map_err(|e| std::fmt::Error),
FormatType::Plain => write!(f, "{:?}", self.data),
}
}
}
This doesn't work because to_writer
requires std::io::Write
, which we can't get from std::fmt::Formatter
